NECKSCARF.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent ne 'aeasoe, dated February19, 1884.

Application filed June 14, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SOLOMON lVIARCUS, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Neckscarfs, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates, especially,to that class of neckscarfs which arecomposed of a head and an apron united in imitation of a sai1- or-knot,so called, and of a neckband having one end attached to the headand theother or free end arranged to pass through for engaging a stabber.Heretofore in this class of scarfs the terminal of the opening for thepassage of the free end of the neckband was at the lower end of thehead, and the adjustment of the band was attended with consid- .erableinconvenience, due to the fact that the free end of the band was obligedto pass through the entire length of the head before it could be graspedand drawn through the latter. To overcome this disadvantage is theobject of my invention; to which end it consists in making the loweredge or terminal of said passage of the head diagonal, thus allowing theneckband to be drawn therefrom intermediate of the top and bottom of thehead, as hereinafter more fully set forth.

This invention ,is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whichFigure l represents .a front view; Fig. 2 is a rear view. Figs. 3, 4,and 5 are detail views of parts. Similar letters indicate correspondingparts. The letter A designates the head, B the apron, and O theneckband, of the scarf.

These parts are united in substantially the.

usual manner, and the apron, as well as the band, are of ordinary form.The head A, however, is constructed as follows: A piece, A, of thedesired fabric is cut to the'shape shown in Fig. 3, and is folded on theline 8, as shown in Fig. 4; then on theeline f, as

shown in Fig. 5; and, finally, on theline g.

The rear end of the folded piece is then fastened by stitches or othersuitable means, when the head is ready for use. The fold e serves toform the inner section or breast, I, of the head, the fold f one half,J, of the back, and the fold g the face K, the remain der of the foldedpiece forming the other half, J, of the back. The back section J isdiagonal, and its edges are left free or unat-.

' is obviously facilitated.

-0, for holding the neckband in position.

is preferred to line the headpiece A, in order tached, except at the.point of intersection thereof with the other back section, J, where afew stitches are made to keep the section J in symmetrical position; butbefore making these stitches the end of the section J, which is the endof the folded piece, is inserted under the sectionJ and stitched orotherwise fastened to the inner section, I. Theback section J forms thepassage in the head for the free end of the neckband G, and due totheplane of this section and the free or unattached condition of itsinner or lower edgc which latter forms the terminal of said passagetheneckband may be drawn from the head at a point intermediate of its topand bottom, whereby the adjustment of the band 011 said free edge Z ofthe section J is secured. the usual stabber, It

to give to the head the proper body or fullness; but 'in some cases,asin scarfs for summer wear, said piecemay be left plain. It is evidentthat the diagonal edge or terminal l of the balid passage can beproduced by folding a piece of fabric in other ways than hereindescribedrand I do not therefore wish to be restricted to this manner offolding, although it is preferable because of the perfect imitation of asailor-knot thereby produced.

WVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a scarf of the character specified, the

head A, composed of a strip folded to form a across the back section Jand unattached thereto intermediate its upper and lower edges, wherebythe neckband can be drawn through the heads at points along the width ofthe back J, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in thepresence of two subscribing "witnesses. SOLOMON MARCUS. n s.]
